  1. Avg 96.5 with the sinker, 83 with the slider, 85 with the change. Lots of velo separation, and disgusting break on the slider. Please be healthy... please be healthy,...
  2. Hitters better be running hard on fly balls to left today.
  3. Tiedeman is nasty. 82 mph slider to 98mph fastball. Filth
  4. Gonna be an interesting day in the OF today kids.
  5. Really does look like an opening day lineup against RHP. and pretty much in the order youd expect.
  6. He's actually pretty split amongst the mouthbreathers. Some focus solely on his debut first week or so and think he's the best thing since organized religion, and the others focus on the 0-30 or whatever it was that he finished with and think he's a complete bust and isn't deserving of oxygen.
  7. That and there's been 0 trade rumours involving Slater and Espinal other than random Jays bloggers making up trade targets
  8. He;s really raked in the minors since joining the org, and yeah, he was always seen as a capable defender. I think its just that he's not in the same league as KK or Varsho. He's never had an extended look in the bigs though. Maybe the Jays get lucky and some team will offer them a capable 4th OF that hits RH for Lukes/Espinal or something. He still has options though so its not even that big of a concern, can still stash him in Buffalo
  9. Indeed. He's not enough better with the bat than any current OF to warrant the downgrade in D. The only guy he might have a case with as being maybe better with the bat is KK unless Varsho really sucks again. Like...I dont even see him as a league average hiiter. Maybe 90 wRC+
  10. Lawyers are no fun...
  11. Horse steroids are the new black i guess.
  12. I mean in general. and yes it was. Don't blame me because you aren't intelligent enough to understand the brilliance of that stroke of subtle hilarity.
  13. Yeah. I like Clement as a bench guy, i think the only way he doesn't make the team is if some other team comes knocking and offers a deal that cant be turned down. No idea what that deal would be... but if he gets DFA he's definitely getting claimed and traded either way. As for the bat, he's basically Bichette with far less power threat. Like Bichette-lite-lite. He'll ride the babip roller coaster
  14. Comedic value is also a factor.
  15. Most of the retards here don't even understand the difference between regression and retrogression.
  16. Definitely. Strriking out Soto and Judge is impressive no matter what time of year it is. Also really liking the looks of this Yankees OF defense.
  17. Not if i was in the box, I'd catch the ball in my teeth since my jaw is so strong and manly, spit the ball back at him and tell him to throw it again.
  18. I'm 6'6" and split squat 7000 pounds... as a warmup. So .... the e-warrior up there doesn't scare anyone.
  19. Stroman starting vs Bassit. lineups... who cares Joey Votto has accepted a non-roster invite to Spring Training for the Jays according to Olney
  20. I mean.. Olney so... grain of salt, but it's probably true since Shulman just mentioned it on the broadcast. Its a classy gesture to see if there's anything left in the tank, but there's also those Jersey sales i'm sure they're hoping for.

    NHL Thread

    Yes. The precursor trade where Tanev went to Dallas and included Jersey as a salary retainer ... that laid the groundwork for the Markstrom deal, but ownership in Calgary is being f***in stupid, as usual. Its a curse of the Alberta NHL teams, meddling ownership that ties their GMs hands, gets s*** results because what they want is obviously stupid, then fires them for doing what they are told. Pick a lane. Doing it 75% of the way is just dumb. They're 6-4 in their last 10 and are 8 points out of a WC spot with 20 games left. They'd pretty much have to go 14-6 AND hope Nashville plays .500 or worse, AND Vegas keeps forgetting how to play hockey.
  22. New pitch? or ... poorly thrown slider. Lets go with new pitch for now.
  23. The velo on the slider is way up too, which may or may not be a good thing. Last outing it was 90-91 avg velo.
  24. Here's a decent article on spin rates overall, and has a nice visual on spin rates and fastballs etc. Its from 2018 but it's still all good info https://www.blessyouboys.com/2018/5/15/17355934/a-basic-look-at-spin-rate-and-what-it-means-for-pitches
